About this map

The Puma Hills dominate the high-altitude landscape of Park County in this mid-1950s survey. This portion of the Pike National Forest is characterized by its prominent peaks and ridges, including Schoolmarm Mountain, Badger Mountain, and Martland Peak. The small settlement of Glentivar sits along the western slopes, serving as a landmark in a terrain carved by numerous drainages such as Turner Gulch and Rishaberger Gulch.

Logistics and infrastructure in this mountain pass area are visible through the path of the La Salle Road and a significant Aqueduct cutting through the foothills. The naming of features like Rishaberger Mountain and Pulver Mountain points to the family names tied to the local ranching or mining history of this high-country basin. The map illustrates the boundary between the open terrain and the dense timber of the national forest, marked clearly as the Forest Boundary.
